I’m ready for a vacation
The last few months I’ve become painfully aware of one truth that I had, for years, denied myself from believing. It’s the truth that unless something drastically changes in the lives of my family, we’re going to forever be owing money to other people. Mortgage loan servicers, credit card companies,…

Man-Cold and The Shack
I missed last Monday’s post. I was sick with a man-cold and didn’t feel like writing let alone doing anything to be honest. My wife doesn’t get it, when I’m sick, just leave me alone. I’m content being miserable by myself and don’t need to be checked or waited on. …

15 years later, still hurts
I wrote this last year: 9/11, Never Forget This year marks 15 years since the events on 9/11 unfolded in real-time in the American media and changed our view of the world forever. Seeing the events unfold on documentaries, I’m still hit with the same raw emotion I felt on…

Neoclassical economics are killing our Democracy
Corporate America is stealing our future one dollar at a time.

The players of this neoclassical system are corporations, banks, politicians, and the…
